Autumn on Mount Iwagomori: Silver Grass and Beech Woods

In a YAMAP hiking log published on November 11, 2026, a hiker described a late-season visit to Mount Iwagomori’s Indian Plain. The silver grass was nearing the end of its season but was still beautiful, they wrote. They also photographed beech woods, autumn foliage and views from the summit.

Flowers were scarce on this outing. The hiker had hoped to find some remaining senburi flowers, while a photographed gentian bud had still not opened by the descent. This is a record of one autumn walk, not a report of current trail or seasonal conditions.
